Pat Lam set for immediate return to Connacht

Connacht coach Pat Lam will make an immediate return to the Sportsground this summer with his new club Bristol.

Lam is going to bring the recently relegated English to Galway for a pre-season game in the summer and has vowed to play Connacht every year.

The province’s most successful coach, who helped Connacht to their first ever piece of silverware last season when they won the PRO12 title, leaves for Ashton Gate in a few weeks.
